I had one too :  they deleted a photo of a tiger eating prey (which happens to be a large piece of meat, probably because tigers don't like veggies).  Reason:  violent content.
They did not delete any of the other 10 photos of the same tiger with the same prey ...  (though they are easily found with the same keywords).
Would you delete those?

I have not received any communication from Payoneer regarding the new 3% withdrawal fee. Could anyone copy paste here the email from Payoneer ?

I think they will only add AI keywords/descriptions for images without metadata.  If yours are already keyworded, the AI will do nothing (at least that's how I understood it).

I sell about 20 images on Etsy, but they are targetted at baby photographers (like me), not at the general public.  Earnings were about 100 euros (nett) in the first year and 25 euros this year.  I don't do ANY marketing for them though.

Question for those whole upload to Istock regularly :  do new files sell at all?  or is the largest part of your Istock income based on old(er) files?

After a (years-long) break I started uploading to iStock again earlier this year. So some of those "new" files weren't literally new, but were new to iStock, and they are selling. My portfolio is small - about 1.8k - but making payout nearly every month.

Thanks all for the replies.  The weird thing is I stopped uploading there many years ago, and since then, I have been making payout almost every month too, with a VERY old port of about 6000 images.  So I wondered, if old photos keep on selling - do get new ones even a chance?  Happy to hear they do ...

Probably a very dumb question, but how do you check your own port to see if there are AI images in them?  Up till today I did not upload any AI to Adobe, but when I read this thread, I 'd like to check if Adobe mislabeled any of mine ...

Replace contributornumber and contributorname with your actual number and name.

Thanks!  My result is zero (which is correct) - but I think that's because I've been uploading model released images, so little chance that reviewers consider them as "generated"

... BUT my total number of accepted images goes DOWN instead of up.  So I can only conclude that they are rejecting older images, or "cleaning up" my port.

Sorry for probably asking (I really don't find Canva's Contributor interface intuitive) - but where can I see the number of assets I've accepted?

For that, I only have this link :
www.canva.com/p/xxxx/   (and xxx is your contributor name)

Also, I read this on DPreview :
The new Content Credentials feature attaches metadata to Firefly-generated images to let others know the creator, edits made, and the tools used, what Adobe is calling a "nutrition label" for AI images.

I just followed an Adobe Youtube clip about this "Content Credentials" feature.  It is embedded in Photoshop 25 as a Beta feature and it can be switched on or off through your "preferences".  If it is "ON", the use of generative fill is recorded in the file, even if it is a tiny adjustment like the removal of a logo.

Did anyone get a "confirmation" after requesting payout ?   After clicking the button, it just changed into a grayed out button "being processed", but no other confirmation or e-mail.

"Collaborate, edit, and present on-the-go
Easily edit slides and present from anywhere using Canva�s presentation software, on any browser or mobile device."
I think that means that there's no download involved for this type of use but Canva's telling you that will count towards your payout

I think that makes sense - which means it would be good news after all ...

"On October 1st, we will start paying for template "usages" instead of "exports".
This improvement means you earn royalties each time your design is downloaded, printed OR presented."


I've read this 20 times now, and I still have no idea what it means ...

But where exactly is the "data cataloge" option available? Maybe that's what I am missing somehow, though I have looked everywhere. 

You're not missing anything, because you're opted out.
The "data catalogue" can be found by clicking in the lefthand bar on "portfolio", and then "data catalog".  Only you will not find your refused images there, because you opted out, so there's nothing to be found there.
So customer support is right :  you cannot delete them if you're opted out.


I do wonder however, if the "opted out people" are able to resubmit their images if they have been marked "eligible for data licensing".   
I had a few refusals for MR, "real refusals", so I can resubmit with a corrected MR, but resubmitting the "eligible" ones is another problem, because you really don't know the reason of refusal ...
